The Sense of An Ending
There are two books in the past that I read and had the need to re-read immediately upon completion.
One was “Against The Day’ by Thomas Pynchon. At 1085 pages it remains my favorite novel, ever. (With a close second of “Mason & Dixon”, also by Thomas Pynchon.) That was in 2017/2018.
Another was “The Overstory” by Richard Powers, which I read twice in 2019.
And now, after finishing it a couple days ago, I am in my second reading of “The Sense of An Ending” by Julian Barnes. (A copy borrowed from the library, as Tammy has picked up my purchased copy.) It was the 2011 winner of the Man Booker Prize.
I’m not great at writing reviews — I just end up spilling endless adjectives — fascinating, inspiring, smart. Etc.
So I will simply recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story and is intrigued with the workings of memory and how we see ourselves and others.
You can read more about it here at Goodreads — and do avoid reviews with spoilers.
